Month: June 2005

I know Zibin’s influenced me in big and small ways since we became a couple. I started spouting singlish after 20 years (much to his dismay at first, thought he ‘corrupted’ me). Started eating raw onions. Learned to take more spicy food. Most amazing of all, I actually began to think Stephen Chow is an […]

Went to ICA. Extended my social visit pass till August 21st. Yes, this foreigner is continuing to stay in Singapore legally. Had lunch with Mom @ Ding Tai Fung in J8. Ech… not tt good. Had tea with Yinwei. Chocolate cheesecake. Girl talk. Saw and held her little botak boy. Took SBS 74 from Marymount […]

Today my mom cleared out everything from the cupboards at our veranda. I was tasked to sort them out into piles: keep, throw or give away. Sneezes aside, it was a trip down memory lane for me as I laid eyes on some things I haven’t seen or touched in more than a decade. Colour […]

At John’s invitation, 9 of us from the U of T gang got together for lunch yesterday (Yiling, Shawn, Yuandong and Yuehan…u were missed!). After lunch at a Jap place in Tiong Bahru Plaza, we adjourned to Delifrance so that people could attempt the Tim Tam Slam. Over steaming cups of cappucino and hot chocolate, […]

There are bats, then there are bats. I’d always thought Batman to be the coolest of the marvel comic superheroes because Bruce Wayne has a genuinely tortured past – not to mention being a billionaire and not actually having any super powers. And now finally, there’s a Batman movie and an actor that does justice […]

What pleasure, what joy… I experienced my first Tim Tam Slam yesterday, courtesy of Huixuan. All you chocolate lovers must absolutely try this! You haven’t known bliss until you’ve had a warm and drenched tim tam explode in molten chocolate goodness inside your mouth. You may have tried Tim Tams before, but you’ve got to […]

After 2 hrs of on and off suspense, I finally managed to get tickets for Les Miserables! Yay, will get to see Jean Valjean, Cosette, Enjolras, Marius and most of all…Eponine once again! 12 years since I last saw them… wonder if it will be as wonderful as I remembered it to be? “Do you […]

For some reason I’m not someone who is easily surprised. But I was surprised early this morning. I thought I had gone to the airport just to fetch Huixuan and her mom. Instead, I received a third arrival from Toronto: 2 slices of delectable pecan pie from Swiss Chalet! Huixuan had gone and bought it […]

Today’s entire morning was dedicated to clearing out my wardrobe. When I was finally done, Mom decided she also wanted to clear some very, VERY old clothes of mine. Out came a suitcase full of selected clothes, both mine and Johnny’s… from newborn shirts to kindergarten uniforms and even John’s Monkey God costume that my […]
